STATEMENT BY GOV. EASLEY ON TODAY’S UNEMPLOYMENT RATE RELEASE
RALEIGH - “Today’s announcement of North Carolina’s unemployment rate for March is clearly a good sign that we are trending in the right direction. These numbers will continue to change from month to month as we create more jobs to offset those lost due to Washington trade policies. We still need help on Washington’s part to stop the loss of jobs overseas. We are committed to staying aggressive in our efforts to create more jobs for North Carolinians. There is still much work to do.”
